Art for reading: eight enthralling short stories by first-class authors paint vivid portraits of Caravaggio’s life and work. A literary pocket book at an attractive, affordable price!

What better subject could there be for a short-story writer than the dynamic life of Caravaggio? His biography, shrouded in legend, provides an account of a quarrelsome character, challenging to the church and aristocracy, who enjoyed brilliant artistic and social success and was involved in sexual excess, manslaughter, escape from justice, and a papal pardon, but whose life abruptly ended with an early, mysterious death.Eight renowned authors were inspired by the paintings of this Italian Baroque master (1571–1610): the stories by Ingrid Noll, the grande dame of the German suspense novel, and the internationally respected Swedish writer Henning Mankell have brought Caravaggio and his work to life, placing them within an intriguing framework. Other authors include poet, dramatist, and essayist Gerhard Falkner; author Arnold Stadler; the young, successful writer Tanja Kinkel; and best-selling author Florian Illies. This first-class lineup is complemented by two Italian masters of literary suspense, Nino Filastò and Andrea Camilleri.

»The stories quicken the heartbeats of suspense fans and art historians alike.«

Die Berliner Literaturkritik

»An entertaining and suspenseful book for anyone interested in this Italian avant-garde artist of the Baroque but who does not want to have to fall back on the usual dry, art-historical treatises.«
